The Lake I Hold

The Writers Guild writing exercise of the week:


Write sentences that don't make any sense. Combine parts of sentences.

1. Every chair breaks when the cat leaps on top of them.


2. My purse hold a lake and I often touch fishes when I reach.


3. When I walk on raw eggs they don't crack.


4. At the birthday party, the balloons are all popped but they still hang in the air like they were helium filled.


5. I often stare at pictures that don't have anything on them.

Then take one of the sentences and write about it.

The Lake I Hold:

My purse holds a lake and I often touch fishes when I reach.

I have to have them close to me.

It's security to me that they don't have freedom from my purse.

I reach and they're always there.

Every fish is different and I need each one at different times.

They know when I need them and they come to me.

If I ignore them or open my purse hoping to find a different lake, they know and they're mad. But I know that my thoughts control them.

I make them mad on purpose.

Then I concentrate and I can get them back.

I really love those fishes.

So colorful.

So bright.

So willing to be controlled by my mind.
